Chapter 1998: The Pillar Sees Independence (Two in One)
PS: Thank you for the game 1988, not dong Hades, God Mushroom for the reward, thank you for your support!
That vision, in a blink of an eye, became a reality.
If Ji Cangmang was on the Immortal Stage, when he saw that illusion, he already knew in his heart that it was an illusion, and of course he could easily pass that level.
But now, in the face of such a reality, is he still alive?
Whewββ
After a long time, Ji Cangman let out a long sigh and stood up, with tears rolling down his eyes.
Even when he stood up, the man who had never stood up, his body was trembling violently, and his heart felt indescribable pain.
His eyes were full of devastation, and he couldn't bear to look at it again.
"How could you all be dead...... How so...... What am I going to say to your relatives and friends...... I killed you!"
On Ji Cang's face, tears flowed across his face, and he felt indescribable self-blame and guilt.
His emotions, although not as outgoing as Ye Bai, have always been extremely responsible, and deep down, he not only hopes that the people who follow him will live well, but also hopes that he will help them become stronger.
But now, they are all dead, and Ji Cangmang himself can't do anything, he has always had a strong confidence in himself, confident that one day, he will reach the peak, but before that, he is also an ant.
And is the road he wants to take really so difficult?
The first defeat made him like a lost dog, driven out of the forces he had worked so hard to build.
The second defeat directly caused all the monks who followed him to die.
What's next?
Is the ideal path he wants to take only death again and again for others?
......
Ji Cang's side is not far away. Drunken Dream Star Monarch was looking at him with a somewhat strange gaze.
After a moment of silence, Drunken Dream Xingjun said, "Boy, I see that your faith is shaking, if you plan to give up...... I'll be disappointed in you, but I'm not going to force you. If Qingdi and Beidou are both dead, if there is no other person to support you, it is impossible to rebuild the immortal realm with just the two of us. β
When Ji Cang heard this, his face was rarely solemn.
β...... Senior, after I have collected their bones, give me a little time to think about it, and then I will talk to you about it. β
Ji Cangmang said in a deep voice.
After saying this, the second law unfolded. Countless cyan wood vortex currents arose in the sky above every bone and other object that the divine sense saw, rolling up those bones and flying towards the top of Ji Cang's head, gathering together.
Whewββ
The wind howled with the sound of mournful weeping.
It lasted for two teas, and Ji Cangmang gathered all the bones and remnants that could be found together.
"I'm going toβI'm going to avenge you!"
Ji Cang muttered to himself. Even him, Ye Bai's gloom appeared in his eyes.
Call!
Raise your hand. The flames rose and burned everything in the sky to ashes, drifting in all directions with the wind.
After doing all this, Ji Cangman glanced around the wolf land again and did not stay any longer. Tear it away.
Drunken Dream Xingjun followed.
......
I don't know how many miles away, on another dusty star, in another desolate valley, Drunken Dream Star Jun was drinking alone on the mountainside, and his figure was lonely and lonely.
Chicken's nest-like messy hair. It became more and more chaotic, white and old, with a pair of old eyes, extremely muddy, and the body curled up, as if to shrink himself into the wind.
If the brothers and friends in the fairy world last time have all died, what is the point of him being left alone in the world?
Deep in the earth below, Ji Cang was in a narrow cave, meditating silently.
A long black hair, it turned out to be all white, white as snow, white and distressing, the appearance has not changed much, it is still that handsome look, but there is obviously a little more vicissitudes on the face, maybe because I don't know how long I have been twisting my eyebrows and pursing my lips, between my forehead, on the corner of my lips, there are also a few more deep folds.
He has always been a man who can endure loneliness, even the most boring meditations, he will never feel a little troubled, and he can always help him to be more calm and calm, as if he has advanced to another level.
But lately, the more I meditate, the more upset I become.
"Whew-"
After another unknown time, Ji Cangman sighed slightly, opened his eyes, and there was a faint trace of blood in the deep tiger eyes, perhaps the previous scene always lingered in his mind.
Ji Cangman stood up and looked ahead, his eyes were extremely deep, as if he was going to pass through the prohibition and see through countless heavy spaces, flashing with thought.
Read ancient books!
Meditate alone!
are the two things that Ji Cangmang likes to do the most, he has a withdrawn side in his temperament, and he is not like Ye Bai, who likes to drink and fight with too many friends, and these two things, most of the time, can always help him solve his inner confusion, whether it is for cultivation or life.
Greatness mostly walks with loneliness, and if Ji Cangman wants to become that great monk, he may be destined to walk with loneliness.
As soon as my mind moved, in my mind, thousands of classics floated one by one, none of them were cultivators, most of them were classics of self-cultivation and family governance.
One by one, it flashed quickly, and when it came to the last one, Ji Cang's eyes flashed, and he took out the corresponding jade slip and flipped through it carefully.
The name of this classic, called the Tao Te Ching, was given to Ye Bai by Wu Quan, and Ye Bai gave it to Ji Cangmang through the treasure tea ceremony.
"Goodness is like water, benefiting all things, and not fighting!"
Seeing this sentence, Ji Cang unconsciously read it out, if it was changed to before, when he saw this sentence, his eyes must be full of appreciation, and at this moment he only sighed unspeakably, and said to himself: "I have not benefited all things, and I have brought killing and death." β
Obviously, Ji Cang's mood is not quite right.
It took nearly an hour to carefully figure out each of the sentences before Ji Cangman put away the jade slip.
After putting away the jade slip. Ji Cang couldn't help but recall the encounter and acquaintance of everyone, and his emotions were gloomy and lost.
"I will avenge you...... My ideals will continue to be!"
In the end, Ji Cang's blank gaze finally began to be firm again, this person didn't need too much external stimulation. You can turn the corner on your own.
After strengthening his belief, Ji Cangmang recalled his previous short trip to the Immortal Realm, and the figure of the First Immortal Emperor came to mind again.
This memory, Ji Cang's blank face quickly became strange, and he seemed to realize that something was wrong again, and a deeper color of thought appeared in his eyes.
......
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Cang's dim eyes gradually brightened. Suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, the laughter was full of inexplicable happiness, and there was no sadness at all.
"I see, I see!"
After Ji Cang's laughter fell, he said two words loudly, looked around, and saw that he was still in the cave. His eyes flashed, and the ban was removed. Float above the earth.
Between the eyebrows, the sorrow is gone, and the confidence returns.
Out of the ground, seeing Drunken Dream Xingjun drinking, Ji Cangman smiled slightly.
"Boy, are you stupid? what's ridiculous. β
Drunken Dream Star Monarch shouted angrily.
Ji Cangman smiled again and said, "If the seniors don't mind." I'm going to kill you now, to leave this illusion, and to continue your journey to the fairy realm!"
"Boy, what are you talking about?"
Drunken Dream Xingjun looked stunned.
Ji Cangman didn't look at him again, as if talking to himself. As if to someone talking to someone, he said: "From the very beginning, I felt that this inheritance was too easy, and after I came out, you didn't allow me to return to the Yuanlong Dao Sect and the Lianyun Dao Sect, because you can only manifest this illusion through my memory, if I really go back, maybe I will immediately find the flaws and see through your illusion." β
"After returning to the starry sky, all the monks I met by chance along the way were met when I came, because they were simply your supernatural powers, which were conjured up through my memory, and it was ridiculous that I didn't even expect it. β
At this point, Ji Cang's eyes looked at Drunken Dream Xingjun again, and he pointed out: "First senior, you really laid out a good game, and you actually used a double illusion to test me!"
Sou!
The fingers shot out, hitting the body of the Drunken Dream Star Monarch, and turned into clouds of smoke strangely.
As soon as Drunken Dream Xingjun died, everything outside Ji Cangman's body began to become illusory, like smoke and fog.
......
In the blink of an eye, it turned out to be a real colorful mist.
And under Ji Cangman's feet, there is still the staircase, the staircase that leads to the so-called Dead Immortal Terrace.
Seeing this scene, Ji Cangmang was completely relieved, and he took a long breath, but he didn't notice that his long black hair was really white, and the folds on his face never disappeared.
Although it is an illusion, the emotions it evokes are real.
......
Boom!
One step out, Ji Cangmang will continue to move forward.
Before taking this step, Ji Cang's vast figure stopped again, his face stunned, but there was a look of joy in his eyes.
Because---On his body, a mass of Dao heart aura has silently emerged, and the aura is constantly rising.
That was the breath of the Pillar Dao Heart!
After the aura of the pillar appeared, it began to rise at an incredible speed, from the initial artistic conception of the pillar to the heart of the pillar, becoming more and more intense.
After five or six breaths, it reached its peak, and it was unimaginably intense.
Ji Cangmang finally ushered in the opportunity of his Dao heart to see independence, and in five or six breaths of kung fu, he reached the level of seeing independence.
Obviously, this was the progress he had made in his Dao heart after he had passed the test of the double illusion.
"At this moment...... The pillar is alone!"
Ji Cang muttered, with a smile in his eyes, he had dreamed of this moment for a long time, of course, but Dao Xin Seeing Du was no longer something he could comprehend in retreat, and he didn't have the time and opportunity to travel around looking for opportunities, so he didn't have the opportunity to comprehend until this moment, although he was many years later than Ye Bai, and he was single-minded, but after all, it was a genuine Dao Heart Seeing Du.
After reining in the aura of the pillar, Ji Cangmang's expression became more and more relaxed, and between his eyebrows, there was a look of confidence, and he walked forward again.
After a while, the stone steps came to an end.
Sure enough, it was still the Dead Immortal Terrace made of white jade, or the coffin lying on the ground. It's exactly the same as what you see in the vision.
"Alas...... Why did you pass this level, do you know how much I wish you would have given up your faith in the illusion and become an ordinary monk from now on. And not my inheritor. β
Ji Cangman's first foot had just stepped on the Immortal Stage, and the sound of sighing had already reached his ears, and it was still the majestic male voice of the First Immortal Emperor.
Ji Cang was stunned when he heard this.
Why did the First Immortal Emperor say that? Shouldn't he be happy to accept his inheritance?
Staring at the coffin, Ji Cang faintly felt that there was a big secret that he had never known.
"Why did the seniors say that?"
Ji Cangman walked slowly. The gaze is deep and calm.
"Because--at the end of that great war, I finally got a glimpse of the Heavenly Machine, and knew the real reason why the Heavenly Dao destroyed the Immortal Realm...... After hearing this reason, if you still plan to follow my path, I will give you the inheritance!"
In the voice of the First Immortal Emperor, there was a certain unspeakable bitterness.
After Ji Cang's eyes flashed, he approached the past, and his heart beat a little faster unconsciously. Know you're about to hear a big secret.
......
The whispering sound sounded on the Dead Immortal Terrace. Time passed slowly, and Ji's vast complexion changed and changed, unprecedented and dignified.
I don't know how long it took.
I don't know what Ji Cangmang and the First Immortal Emperor said.
The whispering voice finally stopped, the illusory body of the First Immortal Emperor. He closed his eyes, as if he was extremely tired and as if he wanted to give Ji Cangman more time to think and tell the First Immortal Emperor his choice.
Ji Cang stood by the coffin, falling into a long silence.
On the Immortal Terrace, there was silence.
In this silence. It smells of death and decay.
I don't know how long it took, Ji Cang's slightly dull gaze finally returned to the appearance of Qingming and perseverance, looked at the phantom of the First Immortal Emperor again, and said, "Senior, I still plan to continue on this road." β
"Have you forgotten who we are?"
The phantom of the First Immortal Emperor opened his eyes and shot a fierce color, as if if he could still do it, he would kill Ji Cangmang right now
"I haven't forgotten, but my result must be different from yours!"
Ji Cangmang said: "You are an outlier under the Great Dao, but I am an outlier in the outlier, I am not just a child of the escaped, but also an important inheritance of the Forty-Nine Heavenly Dao!"
"What inheritance of the Forty-Nine Heavenly Dao have you obtained?"
The First Immortal Emperor asked in amazement.
Ji Cang was silent, reached into his storage space, took out an object, and a dark green light shot in.
The First Immortal Emperor was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up with joy, and after a few breaths, he laughed out loud, and the laughter was indescribable.
"Yes, yes, you are an outlier in an outlier, although I am dead, you may be able to live, my fairy world has been destroyed, yours may not fail, haha-"
The sound of laughter has not fallen for a long time, and in the empty fairy world, it is heard far and wide.
......
Above the lava, Drunken Dream Xingjun was already scratching his ears and gills a little, but he could only drink the sullen wine one by one, looking anxious.
Because forty years have passed since Ji Cangmang entered this tenth secret passage, but Ji Cangmang hasn't come out yet, which can't help but make Drunken Dream Xingjun a little worried.
Whew!
Drunken Dream Star Monarch finally didn't intend to wait any longer, and with a tear of his hand, he crossed the blockade of the Zhenzi Rune and swept towards the lava.
But unlike Ji Cangman's before, no matter how he swept down, it was all lava, as if it was endless.
"Yang Liu, why hasn't that kid come out yet, is he dead or alive?"
Drunken Dream Xingjun was a little anxious and shouted downward.
In the depths below, there was not a single word, as if there were no living beings at all.
Drunken Dream Xingjun's face darkened, and he scolded a few more times, seeing the treasure spirit of the hollow fire willow, he still didn't react at all, and finally had no choice but to give up, and he didn't go up, so he sat in the lava, and after isolating the lava with a protective means, he took out a pot of wine and drank it.
After waiting for a few more hours, there was finally an anomaly from below.
The void shook strangely, and the Drunken Dream Xingjun immediately noticed it, his eyes flashed, and when he stared at it, he saw a white-haired and white-clothed figure sweeping upwards, and at the same time, he opened his hand and grabbed it, and a small fiery red willow tree fell into his hand.
Of course, it was Ji Cangman.
"Ji boy, you finally came out. β
Drunken Dream Xingjun greeted him with a smile.
After the two approached, Drunken Dream Xingjun asked, "Why did your hair turn white?"
Ji Cang was stunned, and he was stunned, his eyes flashed twice, and he smiled: "It's okay, seniors don't have to worry." β
Seeing that Ji Cangmu was reluctant to say more, Drunken Dream Xingjun nodded and did not ask any more questions.
"The inheritance of the first big brother, have you gotten it?"
Drunken Dream Xingjun's face became serious.
Ji Cangman nodded.
"Feng Xianbang and Chop Xiantai, are they not among them?"
Drunken Dream Xingjun asked again.
β...... Not there!"
Ji Cang was silent for a moment before he replied.
"What?"
Drunken Dream Xingjun was shocked, it can be seen that these two things are extremely important.
In fact, Ji Cangmang's heart was also a little unspeakable, when he was in that illusion, he had obviously got it, but when he opened the jade box for the second time, he didn't.
"Was it taken, who did it?"
Drunken Dream Xingjun's face was ugly.
Ji Cang stared at him and said, "The shadow body of the first senior, before dissipating, told me that those two things were taken away by another immortal senior, and if I wanted to, I could only ask him to get them." β
"Who is it?"
Drunken Dream Xingjun's face became more condensed.
"Senior, this matter is a little complicated, after I go back, I will tell you, the Qingdi seniors, and the Beidou seniors together. β
Ji Cangmang said in a deep voice.
Drunken Dream Xingjun stared at him a few times and nodded silently.
......
The two of them tore through the air and came to the top of the volcano.
"Senior, I want to go back to the previous sect to have a look. β
Ji Cangmang said softly, this scene is exactly the same as the scene in the illusion, but unfortunately because of the fact that the Immortal List and the Immortal Cutting Platform were taken away, Ji Cangmang and Drunken Dream Xingjun were both a little worried.
Drunken Dream Xingjun heard his words, thought about it in his heart, and said: "I can only take a look from afar, unless it is life and death, you can't show your face, your whereabouts can't be exposed, and you don't have time to stay here, we must rush back immediately." β
Ji Cangman thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The two of them went to the direction of the Yuanlong Dao Sect first, Feijing Island was still a half-locked fairy mountain island scene, and there were disciples guarding the mountain gate, although it was a little deserted, but it could be seen that there was no tension, and it was not too bad to think about it.
After looking at it reluctantly with his divine sense for a while, Ji Cangman and Drunken Dream Xingjun tore up and rushed to Lianyun Dao Sect.
After Ye Bai left, Lianyun Dao Sect experienced thousands of years, and sure enough, it was still a situation where the Seven Peaks were split, Ji Cangman only glanced at it, and guessed what had happened, and he couldn't help but feel heartache.
But even if it is him, he can integrate and unify in a flash, and he has to find a large number of suitable disciples to stabilize the situation, which is by no means something that can be completed in a day or two, and he no longer has this time.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back!"
Drunken Dream Xingjun, the old fox, of course, could see that he didn't even give Ji Cangmu a chance to speak, so he said coldly.
After Ji Cangman's face sank, he finally disappeared. (To be continued......)
